To Elect Delegates For Z. 0. A. Convention Here Sept. ll-13th
NEW YORK (WNS) — Rep Will Rogers, .Ir., (D-Calif.), i.s ire England to enlist public supiiort for the 1-l-point plan of the Emer¬ gency Conference to Save the .lewish I'eople fif Europe, his wife' revealed this week.
"He will talk to everyone in England who is concerned aliout the .lewish problem", ,Mrs. Rog¬ ers said. "Over there, people who ai'e interested in the problem are fttr more outsjioken than over here".
Rogers was keynoter of the session of the conference held here .luly 211-2.0. Mrs. Rogers gave out a statement left hy her husband.
"We must heat Hitler's own timetable on his continued murd¬ ering of the .lewish people of Europe", the stateinent .said. as. .sei'ting that the Jews in border countries of Nazi - dominated Europe — Tluigarla, Rumania. Hungary and Yugoslavia — could fie saved if the United Nations arranged transit for them across Turkey.
". . . The civilian people of these countries cannot bear the terrible gtiiit of standing liy while Hitler slaughters the en¬ tire Jewish population of their towns", Rogers said. "Therefore the people of these countries will help their Jewish neighbors to escape. When Hitler orders a cattlecar filled with Jewish peo¬ ple to he shipped to Poland, the people of that counliry will re¬ route the cattlecar to Turkey in¬ stead — if they have the choice. It is up to the Allies to make that choice between Turkey and Po¬ land possible". .
